inform Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 Hello,When I had multiple systems under my desk, three years back I played with RH, and SUSe. When I had the time I played and learned a little. I always wanted to make a switch from windows but have never taken the leap. I now only own one computer and it's a Dell Inspiron Laptop. I played with Topogilinux for a while, it boots from a CD and places a directory in windows. My concern is that my laptop is used for business and I can't afford to play on it. Is there a stable version of Linux that I can load on a laptop with little setup difficulties?Thanks,Linux NewbieChristopher Quote

inform Posted May 1, 2003 Author Posted May 1, 2003 I have been reading reviews of different Distros Wow I never knew how many there were. I surmise it would be best for me to stick with a well known distro like RH. However, is there one more suited or geared towards laptop installations.Thanks,Christopher Quote

Bruno Posted May 1, 2003 Posted May 1, 2003 If you're really really new ( don't like or use the term newbie myself ) just go for Mandrake. Superior in "starters" friendly-ness. And reasonable lap-top support these days check hardware database: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3 Bruno Quote
